    hey tam! I have 8 lbs to go, pretty close to what you have left. have you found the last few lbs hard? it's been hard for me even though i've followed MFP. i was wondering, what cals are you at and how much exercise are you doing now? as well, are you currently at a healthy bmi? my feel like my body is not wanting to lose anymore and it's a bit discouraging at times. any advice to share (I will keep persevering though! no giving up now!)

    Thanks so much for your incredible story! you rock!

    Thanks so much Tam for sharing more of your story with all of us. If you wonder how much your presence is appreciated on MFP take a look at the hits or views of your story 2,220 as of 11:00 p.m. west coast time. All I can say is WOW !!!

    Ironic you say that! LOL I am on a plateau going on 2 weeks now!! GRRR! LOL!

    I knew these last few lbs would give me a hard time. And yes I am in a healthy BMI which is probably why any weight I do lose is going to not only take awhile but take extra hard work!! :grumble:

    Oh well!! LOL! It's all good!!!

I had pledged I was going to watch what I ate and at least maintain but instead I gained a few pounds!!! :grumble: :grumble: I am so bumped out about it!!! :sad: :sad: Hugs!! :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

    Thanks!! :happy:

    I actually did fine over the holidays! I actually lost after Thanksgiving and maintained over Christmas. I am fine with that!! LOL! I think it's because I allow myself that ONE day to enjoy and then get back on my normal routine the very next day. Having that day helps me to not feel deprived and I am able to get back into my healthier lifestyle immediately.

    You will be ok! Just focus on getting on track. So, you are off a few lbs now. In the grand scheme of things, it's not a big deal!! :bigsmile: :flowerforyou:
